This is the gatefold card I finally finished last Tuesday and never got a chance to post. All stamps are available from smARTworks. I stamped the mouse in brown ink, masked him, and stamped the mushroom so he could be sitting under it this time. The ladybug was an afterthought, but it pulled the card together for me.

Coloring is done with Prismacolor pencils. The embossed panel was done with a Fiskars Texture Plate. I inked just the "hello" from the saying in the ladybug set ("A little hello from me to you") and positioned it in the message box. I added the exclamation point by hand.

The mouse panel is attached to the left "gate". To make the closure tab, I used the smallest circle on my Coluzzle template, lined it up, and just cut a half-circle. The eyelet was added "just for cute".
